Andrew…
The eldest of three children, I was born in 1960 to loving and caring parents. My mother was a strong Catholic, artist and ballerina. My father was a devout Baptist and an engineer. As a child going, to both the Baptist and Catholic church on Sundays gave me a wide perspective on religion and tolerance for different belief systems.
Andrew, I am still so impressed with your ability to tell a story by the use of light. As soon as I saw Playful I knew it was your work.
You are certainly to be congratulated. You were magnificent in highlighting her excellent atributes.

Thank you Glenn. Playful has a wild personality and it shines through. I always like using light and shadows to highlight the things I see.

Dear Andrew,
i just left work and found the half end of “in her shoes” on fox…i have watched this before in pieces…today i heard the poem by e.e. cummings and it painted the simple essence of what i felt, so i did a google search, eager to find it in writing and found your website….i love your insight, your description of night hours and the poems you have selected……if you have the time , i would love to know what your night hours have bought you in terms of poetry.

hey Andrew..In Her Shoes remains one of my most favorite movies of recent times not only coz i’m such a sucker for “chick flicks” & Toni Collette but coz its actually a very well made one(an adaptation at that) and surprisingly watchable for Cameron Diaz..
the 2 poems,when recited in the movie,strike that little emotional chord and well those eyes a little bit too(u know that dont you)
i would especially like to mention scenes which dont have any dialogues but just portray the state of minds of the 2 protagonists at that respective point in time-
they are-
Cameron shops in the supermarket after reading the poem clearly
Toni climbs a whole lenght of stairs with 5-6 dogs on leash
Cameron bids goodbye to Toni after her marriage and walks away
somehow u feel that good feeling..aint it?
